Ridiculously deep ruby, pink and bright red coloured body with a nice hazy glow and a thinnish one to two centimetre tall pure pink head, all atop a strong pink grapefruit juice glow. Aroma of fruits, tart berries, yeast, bread, alcohol, caster sugar and a heavy dose of candy - quite strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Dense, intensely rich malts, wheat and juiciness with a lot of fruit punch, apple and tropically fruit notes with a light dash of alcohol, but the rich malts and especially the breadiness and fruits really come through. Aftertaste shows a rich fruit character of course, a ton of malts and a deep, tart and sweet pungency, with a light alcohol bite, but an almost astringent, super pungent and robust fruit beer that shows no hops at all throughout, but a ton of sugars, richness and fruits. Overall, this isn't any sort of IPA of course, this is a pure fruit beer, with tons of alcohol and rich wheats/malt that's pretty nice (as long as IPA isn't mentioned) that reminds me of the great beers at Boiler Brewing (Lincoln, Nebraska), but again, another IPA reach by Decadent. This one is still nice to try somehow, and I'll look for other fruits that I like to see if they are good as well. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 30-December-2020 for US$5,22, packaged on 22-October-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-February-2021.

From a pint can. Pours a murky pink grapefruit color with an off white head. Aromas of pineapple and other tropical fruits. Flavors are slightly tart fruit with some bitter citrus peel.
